Sasquatch

They`ve one of these down in Dunsmir Ca. Which we stood gazing at for about an hour when my son was over last year. I got a pic some where.

Believe it or not I`m a Brightonian and sure was born in that low relief backscene. My first love lived in an edwardian terrace just like the second from left in your superb model replica! Just old enough to remember the old Kemp Town station too, seem to remember watching the demolition progress each week from a number 2A bus journey each Saturday with my grandfather. I also have a firm memory of a gronk inching its way across the Lewes road viaduct and also wondered what would have become of one of Englands shortest branch lines had it survived. Good stuff this and I`ll be watching with anticipation. Shaun.

I`d love to join in this thread but I`m off to bed! It`s going to be a real cold night too. Everything was covered in frost before it got dark here!! P.S. I retired early to get more modelling time in!!

Great pictures, especially the 56 next to the ground signal! I recon this layout is real fun to watch those long block trains runing slow.

Met Mrs Sasquatch up in the woods. It was she who introduced me to the hobby! Needed something to bring all her model trees to life!! Took her for a trip back in time on the Blue Bell. Magic.

The advantage of the camera stand is clear here, On the double slip which gave lots of trouble My favourites J39 and WD 2,8,0 passing with kit built stock. This is a retouch of a picture above which I think back dates it rather well.

As the sun appeared at the end of the day yesterday, Mrs Sasquatch and I opened up the workshop door and wipped out the camera. Heres the results. 1966 and Class 108 eases off the throtle as it reaches the summit. Steamers passing. Posty collects the evening mail. J94 with empty hoppers. Very North Eastern. 1960s, with DMU service. Honeydukes Tea Rooms ready to close up for the night. I like this although its just the old Hornby kit. Last orders at the bar ladies and gentlemen please. You can almost hear the glasses clink clanking in the Birch Hall Inn. Mines a pint!

Great project. Watching trains lean on curved viaducts is one of lifes consuming pleasures. Hope to be of encouragement.

Here`s number 6190 on the bridge. The layout is disassemled at present for further work, which allows photography from the back side!

Cgraham Forward thinking thats all. Maybe I do have tools that the average modeller does not.

Battered chips?? Oh how I miss the NHS!

Back from the new pizza joint where we recieved free pints because our order was taking too long! Nice!! Back to these pics. Pigeon train has an empty fish van tagged on (Baffling ) . These shots involved climbing onto the mobile work bench which I neglected to lock thus nearly falling onto layout. The 4' center board seen from above. I can`t help noticing the lack of cable trunking and point rodding which is being added to my hobby check list for this winter as I type.

After reading this post Sasquatch was compound to tip out the contence of both scrap boxes and build the free seats for Dunster. Used srips of planking and punched the bolts thru from the rear ! Great!!
